Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 149 - 147 Fire Ape

Refining a Lifebound usually takes more or less time depending on what kind of creature one chooses as their Lifebound, and their strength.

Choosing a Demon Beast of extraordinary birth and powerful bloodline will certainly make the refining difficult. Conversely, if one picks an ordinary Demon Beast, the process will be relatively simple, as ordinary beasts have neither the strength nor soul fortitude in comparison to those born with bloodline inheritance.

However, Qin Feng was an exception. With the help of the Demon Refining Pot, he could easily refine the Ruyi Golden Snake into his Lifebound Spiritual Beast.

As for the disciples from the line of Creation Peak, it was to one extreme or the other.

Natural Creatures born from spontaneous creation were very rare. Before these creatures awakened their Spiritual Intelligence, many had already manifested their Spiritual Nature. Though the time it takes for them to awaken their Spiritual Intelligence is short, their span of existence is very long. If, by chance, one encountered an especially ancient creature, the refinement would be extremely difficult.

But if one encountered newly born Natural Creatures, it would be simple, as they only possess a rudimentary Spiritual Nature and lack complete Spiritual Intelligence, making them easily refined into a Lifebound.

Like Qin Xi’s Water Spirit, newly born and only possessing an unlearned Spiritual Nature, still without full wisdom, she spent merely a day to refine the Water Spirit into her Lifebound.

Previously, none of them had thought of refining Lifebounds in the Secret Realm. Firstly, they were uncertain about the duration Qin Xi’s refining would take, and then there was the matter of finding a Lifebound for Wen Qing’er. Moreover, they were planning to gather some Spiritual Medicines and Treasures in the Secret Realm as Cultivation Resources for the future, making them reluctant to spend the precious time of the Secret Realm on early refining.

Qin Xi wasn’t in a rush either; after all, it was just a matter of a few days. She preferred to search for treasures in the Secret Realm to aid her Cultivation.

But now, because of the Confusing God Flower incident, they had to let Wen Qing’er give it a try, so Qin Xi also began to cultivate within the Prohibition set by An Ruhui, and ended up refining the Water Spirit into her Lifebound.

After the successful refining, she quickly mastered the Divine Skills of the Water Spirit.

Her Water Spirit did not originate from common rivers and lakes but was born from the clouds of Moyun Ridge.

Originally, it should have been a Cloud Spirit, but due to an unexpected incident, numerous clouds converged to form rain clouds, and as fate would have it, the spirit became a Water Spirit endowed with Spiritual Nature.

Consequently, the Water Spirit possessed three Divine Skills: transforming into fog, transforming into rain, and Water Escape.

It may seem ordinary, but that was not truly the case. Divine Skills grow with the increase in Cultivation, and she could further cultivate the Water Spirit and Refine Water Element Treasures such as the True Water born from heaven and earth or some extremely Yin Cold Treasures, endowing her Water Spirit with an immensely Yin Cold power. With the right opportunity, anything is possible.

What’s more, the method of Cultivation at Creation Peak mainly involves using these Natural Creatures to communicate with nature’s Spiritual Energy and thence grasp the corresponding Dao Principle. Even though Qin Xi was still far from reaching the Realm of perceiving the Dao Principle, she could now use the Water Spirit to communicate with the Water Element Spirit Qi and wield many Spells.

Take An Ruhui, for instance. Her Lifebound was originally just a wisp of breeze, yet in her hands, it could invoke numerous Wind Element Magic through Wind Control. Not only was the casting extremely fast, but it was also immensely powerful, and ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators stood no chance against her.

Even now, An Ruhui has started to evolve her Wind Elf. She is looking for treasures to imbue her Wind Elf’s Innate Divine Ability with Yin Cold Power, transforming a gentle breeze into a Bone-Scraping Cold Wind; a method that kills invisibly is formidable indeed.

Qin Xi quietly contemplated the Divine Skills of her Water Spirit, and suddenly, with a wave of her hand, a small curtain of rain appeared in front of her, hitting a large tree not far away.

After a series of slapping and smacking noises, not only were branches and leaves broken off the tree, but the trunk was also peppered with small holes several inches deep.

This was now her most potent offensive method. With her current low Cultivation Realm, the range of her Rain Transformation was limited, but once she reached a certain level, just a thought would summon a deluge, each raindrop infused with various forces, akin to a sky full of arrow rain, falling overwhelmingly. It was undoubtedly the best method for group combat.

Of course, if used against a singular individual, it could easily exhaust the opponent. After all, a Divine Skill that instantaneously unleashes countless attacks can be troublesome to deal with.

The only weakness was the dispersion of force. If the opponent were mighty and could withstand her attacks, she would then have no choice but to use Water Escape to flee.

However, she wasn’t too concerned about this; she’s a Cultivator, not one without other means to Cultivate. Besides being able to train other Spiritual Beasts as helpers, she could cultivate more Spells to make up for her shortcomings.

Things went smoothly for Qin Xi, but Wen Qing’er was making slow progress, not yet completing the refinement after two consecutive days.

Adding the preceding days, they had been in the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm for over six days.

While they refined their Lifebounds, Qin Feng wasn’t constantly guarding them. With An Ruhui there, their safety was sufficiently ensured.

Furthermore, the location they chose for Cultivation was secluded, not a place rich in Spiritual Energy, meaning rarely would anyone come there. Even if other Cultivators encountered them, they wouldn’t spontaneously engage in conflict without cause. Without a treasure to vie for, there was no need for senseless killing.

Thus, Qin Feng started to venture out for treasure. Initially, he just roamed the forest, and once he had a rough lay of the land, he began to advance to other areas.

Every night, however, he would return to this place, planning to leave the Secret Realm together with everyone once they completed this phase, to avoid being ambushed on the way.

One day, just as Qin Feng was collecting some common Spiritual Medicines in the forest, he suddenly heard a beast’s roar in the distance.

The roar was thunderous, startling the wildlife of the forest into chaos.

"Eh?"

Qin Feng was momentarily startled.

As a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, he understood Demon Beasts far better than other cultivators; thus, he could detect something different in the roar.

Although the roar was filled with boundless rage, to Qin Feng, this was nothing special. Most Demon Beasts were irritable and easily angered. If someone trespassed into their territory, it was easy to provoke their fury and trigger an attack.

But for the roar to carry so far and still be so powerful, that was strange.

This level of deterrence should not belong to a Demon Beast at the Foundation Establishment Stage; even those naturally strong and fierce Demon Beasts couldn’t possess such might before reaching the corresponding realm.

A thought flashed through Qin Feng’s mind: surely there wasn’t a Demon Beast breaking through to the Demon Core Realm?

Apart from the Demon Core Realm, he couldn’t think of any other Demon Beast that would have such a presence.

Perhaps someone had pushed a Demon Beast at the peak of Foundation Establishment to a dead end, so the Beast had decided to take the risk of advancing its cultivation, attempting a breakthrough in order to kill its opponent with greater strength.

He looked up at the sky and, as expected, anomalies had begun to appear; Spiritual Energy was starting to gather in the sky not far away. Clearly, the aura of the Demon Beast had already touched the Power of Laws of the Cave Heaven World.

"Heh, interesting."

Qin Feng chuckled lightly. He wondered which sect’s disciple was so audacious to push a Demon Beast to this extent. Did they not fear getting involved and being annihilated by the Power of Laws as well?

He rose to his feet and darted in that direction, wanting to witness firsthand how the Power of Laws would punish the Demon Beast.

Demon Beasts at the Demon Core Realm were indeed formidable for these low-level cultivators, but under the Power of Laws, they were nothing more than creatures to be casually crushed.

He wanted to go and see; it was rare to encounter a Demon Beast that had achieved a Demon Core. If there was a chance to include it in his Demon Refining Pot, it would provide him with much pure Spiritual Energy.

Continuing on his way, he quickly arrived at a mountain peak about a dozen miles away and landed, looking ahead.

Before him, over a dozen Taiyi Sword Cultivators had congregated, deploying a Sword Array against a Fire Ape over five zhang tall.

The Fire Ape had staunch and formidable limbs; its body was even covered in brown rock armor formed by solidified stones, suggesting its defenses must be very strong.

However, it had many dark wounds on its body, from which fresh blood flowed freely, some even exposing chilling white bones. It was evidently badly wounded.

But its aura was now surging tumultuously, its ferocity appalling; every time it opened its mouth, thick flames sprayed out, forcing the Taiyi Mountain Sword Cultivators opposite to dodge everywhere.

"Don’t panic, it won’t last much longer," one of them commanded. "Keep the Taiyi Golden Light Sword Formation in order, and remember, later on, don’t let it stabilize its Demon Core completely, and don’t let it escape.

Junior Brother Zhuo, you retreat. Once the Fire Ape breaks through the realm, use the Sword Talisman Uncle-Master gave you to attack."

"Yes, Senior Brother Chen."

In the crowd, Zhuo Feifan responded and stepped back, taking out a three-inch Jade Talisman in his hands and firmly locking onto the Fire Ape’s form.

The Jade Talisman was sealed with Sword Qi, something his master had given him to save his life.

He didn’t really want to use it now; he preferred to save it for the last day to ambush at the Space Channel, using this Sword Talisman to attack Qin Feng.

Unfortunately, they had another mission this time upon entering the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm, and during moments like this, he had no choice but to follow the orders of that Senior Brother Chen.

Otherwise, if he caused the mission to fail, he would face severe punishment upon returning to the Mountain Gate.

He harbored secret resentment, wondering why Chen Buqi wouldn’t use his own Sword Talisman, forcing him to exhaust his own life-saving item?

Hmph, damned thing, just you wait, once I become a True Disciple, there will come a time for you to suffer!

Zhuo Feifan concealed his discontent well, not letting a trace of emotion show in his eyes.

He discovered that since returning to the Mountain Gate last time, he had changed from how he used to be.

Perhaps, because he had a secret in his heart that he couldn’t let others know, he had become more somber and had learned how to better mask his feelings.
